Bike storage racks

I have four bikes and am looking for a neat way to store them indoors. Most storage racks on Chainreaction are for two bikes. I don't want to drill walls. Freestanding is my preference.
Any recommendations?

I was in Aldi in Bagenalstown recently and they had free standing stands for two bikes, you could try your luck. I have one of these which would be fine in a large room but mine aren't and I want to replace it for something with more room between bikes.

It's going to be big.

Something like this or this?

Don't know if this appeals to you but the system used on some continental trains would be a very simple DIY job - a horizontal bar from which the bike is suspended - usually using "S Hooks"

I've stored two bikes in a very narrow wardrobe in the past by taking off the front wheels, rotating the handlebars by 90 degrees, and balancing them side by side on their rear wheels with the fork dropouts resting against the back of the wardrobe. Something like a small thin piece of wood behind each wheel stops them from rolling backwards. It's certainly not the most convenient option but it's quite a good use of space and of course it doesn't cost anything.

As another relatively cheap alternative, you might be able to cobble together some hooks that would allow you to use the likes of this to suspend (or just stand up) the bikes by their front wheel. The height and general stability, or lack of, of that stand might not be immediately well suited though, but you might be able to adapt it easily enough.

I have this. It's not freestanding as such, but it doesn't involve drilling holes. It's also designed to take four bikes but you'd have to buy two extra hooks.
